What Qx/ou Huff With WAR BONDS The ordinary machine gun is too cumbersome for our Marines, espe cially for parachute troops. So the Marines have adopted new models of the Reising sub-machine gun, a 45-caliber weapon. The new gun used by the para troops is a compact model with a pistol grip and a steel-frame stock which folds out of the way when not in use. You can help buy these for our Boys in the Solomons and elsewhere with your purchase of War Bonds. Join the Payroll Sav ings Plan and let’s “Top that ten percent.’’ u. S.

THE BLUFFTON NEWS, BLUFFTON, OHIO Three Official OPA Inspection Centers Here Report Town Tire Conscious Deadline for ‘A’ Inspection Mar. 31 Abused Tires Will be Reported That Bluffton motorists are tire conscious, is being indicated by the large number of tire inspections be ing made at the three local tire in spection centers, the Stauffer Pure Oil Co., Bixel Motor Sales, and the Standard Oil Service Station. Changes in the deadline for tire inspection have been announced by the Office of Price Administration, modifying its original order. This change which puts into effect a stagger system will lessen public inconvenience and peaks of rush work for inspectors. Under the reused program all holders of basic gasoline ration A coupons will have until the end of March for their first tire inspection and subsequent inspections will be once in six months. Motorists with or supplemen tary books will be required to get their first inspections by the end of Large Number Of Motorists Here Are Having Their Tires Inspected ESTABLISH!

After that, inspections for bookholders will be once in every four months and for book holders once every three month.s While tire inspection centers in other parts of the state are com plaining that too few motorists are having their tires inspected, the op posite situation seems to prevail here. The local inspectors have been ad vised that when there is evidence that tires have been abused they must be reported to the rationing board of the district in which they operate. Must Correct Faults If tire wear results from some me chanical defect in the machine, a bent him, improper wheel alignment or other fault the inspector is not supposed to sign the inspection rec ord until the defect has been cor rected. A 25 cent fee is charged for the on-the-wheel inspection of tires. If the tire must be taken off for an inspection for new tires or re-treads there is a charge of 50 cents for passenger cars, 75 cents for small trucks and $1.00 for large trucks.

Despite the fact that many inspec tions have already taken place here, motorists are urged not to put off their inspections until the last mo ment. Aiding the Axis is just about the last thing most people here would like to do, yet through a careless slip of the tongue many are doing just that. On the battle fronts the fighting commands on both sides risk the lives of their men in order to dis cover the location and strength of the military units of the enemy. Many people at home, although entirely unaware of the results of their talking, are furnishing the Axis with needed material. The Office of Censorship has most strongly urged that individuals: Must not tell the names of ships upon which sailors serve. Must not tell troop units in which soldiers serve overseas. There is no objection in telling that a soldier member of the family is in Australia or that a sailor brother or son saw action in the Pacific.
